Communion: A True Story

Product Information

Do not miss this great classic and the powerful introduction that explores the situation as it stands today--even more provocative now, as official sources are admitting that UFOs are real unknowns and that they seem to have something to do with close encounters. Sahar is seen reading a well worn copy of this book in "Love Language" (S1, Ep5) of the SyFy series Resident Alien. My own synopsis has for a while been that they are real, but occur in a different vibrational plane of existence; certainly there is much here to align with out-of-body experiences and astral travel. I can understand how certain sensitive people, through some set of circumstances, could possibly see visitors that are an actualized form of their anxieties and hopes. My main example, is Whitley's insistence that the aliens left a mark on his ear, that no matter how many times he tries to have it removed simply grows right back.

Assuming that these events are factual - and I think they are - then we human beings must begin a re-evaluation of ourselves and our place in the universe. This is one of those embarrassingly bad books where the author begins the book with a repetitious, "No, guys, I am so seriously-serious. On December 26th, 1985, Whitley Strieber was woken in his isolated cabin in upstate New York, he saw a creature in his bedroom.The first one was near the cliffs (actually hiding above them at times) outside of Warm Springs, Oregon on a clear blue sky day. This UFO classic and the basis for the cult film starring Christopher Walken, Communion is one of the most thought-provoking books of the twentieth-century. Telling the reader over and over you’re not crazy and you’ve led a successful life is just distracting. I was house and dog sitting for someone new and I was bored of Netflix so I was like oh yeah, I'll read this book.

The way this was written could at times be hard to follow and I didn't find that it had a very good flow to it. As I sketched, he would indicate how to change the portrait so that it would more match what he saw. Strieber came to realise that he had been abducted by these alien life forms for most of his life, and began to record his experiences with visitors from 'elsewhere'. I liked reading this twenty-six years after it was published, because it makes things like the "visitors" trying to help mankind because of the ozone hole a little bit discredited. And transcriptions of interviews with the author’s young son don’t really ring true; they do not seem to follow the way a child would normally talk.Christmas is just around the corner, but DON’T PANIC: we’re here to provide you with the ultimate festive gifting inspiration, and remind you that books are certainly the easiest presents to wrap…! Before becoming an author, he worked at an advertising agency from 1970 to 1977, going from account supervisor to vice president. He still insists to this day, as a 40+ father of three children, that something odd happened that night. This very much sounds like the rantings of a man who has experienced traumatic events and doesn't know what to make of it.

The accounts of the various visitations are fascinating, especially with regard to the 'old, female, crane-fly' type alien, and the writing creates some eerie and peculiar ideas in the reader's mind. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Thus, at this time in my life, I wasn't even working on horror stories, and at no time had I ever been in danger of being deluded by them.He looked us dead in the eyes individually and said "it's not the communion you're thinking" and walked away with his book to hide under a tree. Colin Groves in Skeptical - a Handbook of Pseudoscience and the Paranormal, ed Donald Laycock, David Vernon, Colin Groves, Simon Brown, Imagecraft, Canberra, 1989, ISBN 0-7316-5794-2, p. Think page after page of a person contradicting herself, saying she can’t remember, and going off on unrelated tangents. The book was later made into a film directed by Philippe Mora and starring Christopher Walken as Strieber and Lindsay Crouse as his wife, Anne. No wonder I had nightmares back then, but for some reason I am fascinated by the experiences of others.

Tough one to rate as it seems to meander back and forth between a non-fiction account with heavy fictionalized sections. Bottom line: if you're interested in this sort of stuff this is one of the all-time classics on the subject.The painting is considered one of the most widely recognised popular culture images of alleged " grey" aliens. This is a good book to open the mind to new ideas and to discuss with believers and skeptics alike on the topic of aliens, UFOs, group delusions, time travel, Gods, the powers of the mind, and more. To me, the alien sequences in the book could have just as easily been drawn from a laboratory primate’s experience as a haunted man’s.
